I visited a vineyard in Ronda, Spain, once, and got the best advice ever. "Sure, there is bad wine, sure there is good wine, - but the best wines are the ones you enjoy in the right setting, with good company. Mediocre wine can become amazing in the perfect atmosphere" :) I kind of agree, if you remove the extreme outliers.
I’m pretty sure any wine would taste amazing in Ronda! Such a beautiful place
@@alexandrehenri-bhargava2741 That's very true :)
🇪🇸
in Moravia thay have 4 categories,... Great, good, can be cooked, export to Prague......

I have so much respect for the way he emphasizes that no "rule" is more important than personal preference
That is so true.
Andre is awesome! Can't get enough of his content. He's turned me into a wine nerd.
Totally agree!! Love all of his episodes
Like single handedly!! Actually so helpful!!
I see Andre and i click...And I don't even drink wine
me too
i hot dog food truck
I don’t even drink wine but Andre is so passionate about the subject that I can’t help but want to watch his videos!!!
Same! I’ll have a beer once in a while but I never drink wine, this guy makes wine sound delightful though 😂
I agree with you - not so much about wine because I love a good glass of wine - but I follow a tech guy and I often have no clue what he's referring to but he's so interesting I just listen and occasionally I even understand him. Andre is a great presenter and fun to watch!

Same, I kinda hate wine but I like his videos.
I could listen to this guy explain grapes to me for hours.
Right, but he has no idea about grapes.
@@elektrik_exekutioner6822 How did you manage to come to this conclusion? He certainly knows a lot about grapes since wine is fermented grape juice.
@@ggabor1683 He has never been in a vineyard. He may know how to taste wine but he certainly doesn't know a whole lot about growing or processing grapes.
@@elektrik_exekutioner6822 As a somm myself I can assure you that he has visited vineyards and studied viticulture as well as vinification. He doesn't just taste wine but has a great understanding of how wine is made (including the vineyard itself). What you describe is a misconception about somms.
@@ggabor1683 As a winemaker myself I can assure you that a 2-week tasting course to become a sOmM isn't nearly enough to teach you anything about cultivating grapes or winemaking at all. Neither of you have ever done either and you certainly have not studied any of these fields.
Andre needs his own dedicated channel.
It’s called getting Pitch Meeting’d!
Thought it would have happened a while ago by now....Has he been featured on other's videos yet??
Andre needs his own wine selling website where he describes wines with emojis
Love all of Andre’s videos. A wealth of knowledge and a complete lack of pretense. Please keep them coming!
Anytime I see Andre, I watch it right away.
This is SUCH a good video. I'm all about drinking wine without intimidation. Its ok not to know everything. And all the rules are just guidelines. Would love to have Andre on our show sometime.
I don't even like the taste of wine, or just alcohol in general, but I always watch his videos. He's so interesting to watch and his knowledge is so vast
Same!
I only drink once or twice a year and have never even had wine. But I love Andre's videos, he's such a wonderful teacher and not at all snobbish about wine.
Andre is the best ambassador for wine. He is genuinely excited, open-minded, and lnclusive. Seeing Andre speak about wine makes me want to drink wine and have fun. He shows you that however you do it and whatever you buy, its fine if you enjoy it and have fun with it. For sure, always happy to see more Andre Hueston Mack content!
Thank you for addressing the sulfite thing. Drives me up the wall. I’m a winemaker by profession and the number of Somm’s and crunchy blogger moms I talk to who want to talk to me about how evil sulfites are blows my mind.
I don't really like wine right, but a while ago I had a bottle of Gewürztraminer with no added sulfites and it tasted like friggin mango juice, not like wine at all. Is that a thing? I could have that any day of the week, it tasted so much better than any other wine I had so far. I bought a few other bottles of Gewürztraminer and they tasted bad, which must mean that I just really don't like the sulfur? Right?
So, this can get complicated, let's simplify it.
Every wine has a typicité (fancy French term for) typicalness. The same grape in 5 distinct growing regions will taste different, but there will be similarities. Gewürztraminer will usually taste of things like: lychee, grapefruit, a little spicy (think ginger) and some floral (could be roses, in my own region of PA it is usually honeysuckle). This list isn't exhaustive and it also isn't gospel. You had a wine that tastes like mango juice and there is any number of reasons that could be the case. I would say that isn't a typical flavor for gewürz, but it doesn't make it wrong. You may have just liked that bottle and not other typical bottles. Climate, fermentation, yeast, age, oak, etc, all play into what make a wine tastes the way it does.
Sulfur (sulfites, what they are actually referring to is Potassium Metabisulfite) is something totally different. First of all, sensory perception doesn't start until like 55ppm, which is WAY overdosed. US limits I believe are like, 65-70ppm, which again, is so far overkill it's absurd. 25-30ppm for reds is usually good and up to 35-40ppm for whites is usually adequate.
Should you have a wine that has perceivable levels of sulfites in it you will feel serious nasal irritation. Sort of higher nasal irritation and it could even make your eyes water a bit.
All of this is to say, sulfites being in a wine is a red herring on your "I liked this but not that" quest. You may have just found a wine you really liked, in which case go buy more and enjoy it.
I hoped that helped. I'll check back if you have any other follow up questions. I really dig talking about this stuff.
Correction to legal limit: 350ppm. Which is laughable.
@@JoshNeilTHE Interesting, thanks for answering! We had like 6 bottles that night so I might have gotten my tasting notes mixed up. :P
If the sulfite levels are below the perception threshold then that can't really be it, makes sense. I looked it up, and the Rennersistas Gewürz 2021 does have added sulfites too so there's that. In my mind it lacked a very "winey" tasting note that I find in most other wines and it was super fruity... Maybe it's a particularly young wine then?
Who knows. You're right, I should probably buy another bottle for science, and maybe ask my wine dealer to recommend me something similar.
@@Schindlabua Young wines have a tendency to be fruity. You could also try warm climate wines. California, Australia, etc.
I would be interested if you could nail down what that winey characteristic was. Ultimately, there is a wine out there for everyone, but everyone may not like every wine, and that's fine. Drink what you like and don't let people look down on you for it.
This man is such a blessing to the wine community and abroad! Keep fighting the good fight Andre!
Absolutely love André. He's the perfect curator for the layman (me hehe) in to the world of wine. Down to earth, extremely knowledgeable, and humble.
Such a great guy. He puts up the things very well and understandable. And most importantly, he is not taking himself too seriously. He is the reason I'm a subscriber to this channel.
I did a research paper on wine and it's fascinating how perception of a wine can change its taste. There are some wines that have won awards in some competitions and were rejected as undrinkable in others, same batch, same wine. Human psychology plays a huge part in this.
If it's public, can you share a link? I really enjoy reading such papers.
@@DirtyHairyIII Unfortunately just saved to my computer.
@@AKalininskaya Would you be willing to share?
@@AKalininskaya so it's not published? What study did you do?
I'm working in the wine production industry and every answers here are spot on and so well explained. Awesome video !
Andre always provides great information, one of the best series on RUclips.
This is such an informative video! I love your personality.
Andre is my favorite! Need more of his reviews and insight.
I really enjoy Andre’s content! I’m a wine lover and he’s taught me so much about shopping for wine!
I always enjoy your informative, interesting and personal takes on wine. Thanks for inspiring wine drinkers of all types.
can't say enough good things about the addition of andre to the channel keep this stuff coming, I'd love to see him review brandy, cognac, Armagnac especially would be very interesting to see his thoughts on them as a sommelier
Always learn many things watching Andre's vids. Thanks!
I'm so glad this man has so many videos on this channel. I love hearing him speak
I really appreciate what you have to say Andre! Thank you!
Outstanding, uncomplicated explanation! Love it!

I cant put into words how useful and practical these videos are.
what a joy it is to listen to Andre - thank you so much !
Very well articulated. He could explain anything to me and I would listen
I love the way you express how it feels to you, how people should express their own feelings and opinion of wine. 👏 in general its all how you as a person feels about it. Well done my friend, Cheers 🥂
I'm not really a big fan of wine, but André taught me a lot! I especially will remember about what you can learn about the cork if presented to me, and will try to remember about the different refrigeration for each type of wine.
I've learned so much about wine on this station...thank you for simplifying.
Andre is so cool! Love watching the content he is apart of. Does he have a personal cellar we might be able to get a glimpse into?
This person soothes my soul. Is it even possible a wine video? I feel so seen lol this person is really informative 😭
Thanks so much for your videos. I really enjoy them. Excellent information.
Really love your content, you always teach me something. Thanks.
More content, mister! You are super helpful. I know everything is subjective, but I would still love a series on your favorites (regardless of price) in the different varietals.
So interesting listening to this guy, what a great presentation. I learned a lot
Such great explinatons, really enjoyed!!

Love this series!
I'm in the business Andre and you attacked these questions humbly and honestly. Well done :)
Andre is the absolute best please keep this show going!!!
wow.....Great video....ur the best, thank u for ur honesty!!....
As a BIPOC person working in the wine industry, it can feel a little lonely sometimes. Seeing Andre get this spotlight is super encouraging and I always love his content. His unfussy, unpretentious attitude to wine is exactly what we need as this new era of wine drinkers comes to maturation. Bravo sir!
Bipoc?
@@NVH-hi7wp "minority" or "person of color" to most people.
it means specifically, Black and/or Indigenous person of color
@@romulus_ POC is person of color BIPOC means Black and/or Indigenous person of color, BIPOC is a term meant to show solidarity between the two groups.
@@iLoveUbeicecream i'm black, i don't need a tutorial.
I need 7 videos a week of this wholesome content!
Lots of great questions and great straight Forward Answers Brother 😎✌️❤️
Very informative. More videos please.
I like this channel, I like the host and his style - down to earth, informed, unpretentious. Love it.
super informative -thanks a bunch
I'd love to watch more André!
I like your delivery. It is clear and enjoyable.
Love how you explain about wine. 😄
Love this guy, he's so down to earth.
Andre is the best. Makes wine fun and easy to enjoy.
I've just gotten started in the wine industry and have only a handful of tastings under my belt. There's so much to learn and honestly I feel like an idiot most of the time. I need to watch more Andre! Maybe I can get to somm 1 someday.
This sommelier is an awesome treasure of knowledge keep up the vids this dude is getting this channel views. Can't complain this is super entertaining 😁👍
Great content. Just perfect for the everyday wind drinker.
As a first level sommelier I really enjoy watching him explain wine terminology in simple concise language.
Excellent video. Thank you, Andre.
Excelente video, muito informativo, leve, objetivo e gostoso de assistir, obrigado!
Great video as always 😊
Love love love these videos!!!
This clip is awesome!
No one should be the judge of how you drink your wine.
The professionals could offer suggestions and help you to enjoy the wine, but not trying to be pretentious.
i always enjoy your videos, your explanations are perfect .I especially liked the one with Kevin Hart. Any suggestions on how to improve a pallet or am I stuck forever just drinking a wine because i like the taste. May sound silly but I would like to really taste these nuances that I probably overlook. Keep them coming. Cheers
Wonderful, fun and informative video thank you

Post covid and the breakup of the amazing chef's giving us cooking lessons, Andre is my main reason for subscribing to Bon Appetit's RUclips channel.
Andre your answers are very simple!
💙🔥 bang on great video
Well explained
This guy is fire. Great advice!
I love Andre soooo much.
JC listen to this guy it's like meditation... I really do enjoy this kind of content... God bless you Andre 🙌 🙏
I looove Andre! Please keep it coming 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
Andre is awesome! I never really could get into wine but now I feel like I am better equipped to try wine. Mostly because of his how to shop the label video. I also love the perfect place of educated but not pretentious. I want to know about wine, it is not about pride is about the experience.
Andre has blessed us again with his presence
I appreciate Andre’s insight and approachability. Unfortunately not all somms are as approachable.
I'm with a wine direct sale company. I teach others about pairing wine with food and I share Andre's videos because he explains things much better than I do. Thanks Andre! You are awesome!
Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Really good refresher course. Many thanks.
Great video. Makes me feel ok about not knowing a lot of wine stuff.
The whole thing about the labels…..I’m attracted to bottles with beautiful art and/or odd names….one of my favorite labels is Freakshow….i adore their Zinfandel and Pinot noir, and their art showing an old style circus just makes me happy!
